Jeremiah 38:11-13

11So Ebed-melech took the men under his authority and went to the king’s palace to a place below the storehouse. From there he took old rags and worn-out clothes and lowered them by ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.

12Ebed-melech the Cushite called down to Jeremiah, “Place these old rags and clothes between your armpits and the ropes.” Jeremiah did this.

13They pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern, but he remained in the guard’s courtyard.
